Today, lets explore how to make money online with online classes through Udemy courses. If you've been struggling to find a way to generate some revenue through your blog or website content it may be time to explore Udemy. If you haven't heard of Udemy, it's an online education marketplace. Their mission is to help anyone learn anything no matter where they are in the world. However, before we go on there are also other alternatives to Udemy as well that include: (1) Coursera.org and (2) Edx.org as both have similar platforms.

With that said, you're probably wondering... "online classes" ? Yes.. maybe it's not the most exciting pitch on the subject of making money online but just hang in there with me for the sake of this post before you throw in the towel on this idea. Besides it's all about offering quality to your readers while making a little money too and that's definitely something to build on. Quite frankly that's exactly what Udemy does too by the way.

When it comes down to making money online, most of us think affiliate marketing. I mean that's the buzz word on the topic of revenue generation and there's nothing wrong with that. People make plenty of money with affiliate marketing. Beyond that, more than likely you're familiar with it too. Advertisers have a product in which you agree to publish that product or drive traffic to that product. This behavior leads to commissions that you earn for your efforts so it's a win win for both the advertiser and the publisher (e.g. you and a third party). The process conceptually sounds pretty easy and it sounds attractive as well. Promote a product and get compensated for doing so.

With that said, the hardest part about the process is driving traffic to what you're promoting and this could simply be because of the disconnect between what is being promoted and the user on the other end. Often times when you come across promotional items, chances are good that the publisher promoting the product doesn't really know much about it and it's there solely for the purpose of revenue generation. Don't get me wrong though.. this isn't in all cases, but it exists in many. On the other hand, I would like to discuss a different approach to generating revenue while providing value, because if there's one thing that I believe in is the value that you're giving to the audiences that you serve.

Additionally, I would also search Udemy to see how much competition exists for what you are planning to write about. I would venture to say that the more classes that exist for the niche that you want to write about, the harder it will be to rise up the ranks for greater visibility. However, the focus that I will continue to reiterate on is that quality will help increase your credibility. Increasing your credibility will lead to more students taking an interest in taking your class and as a byproduct will result in greater revenue for you as well.

With that said, considering how often you, me, your audience and even my own are always on the search for more helpful information, it's a win win with Udemy. There are few things that make a person feel like they are contributing positively to any cause than to provide value in what they are doing and to receive a bonus on top. If you haven't thought about Udemy, maybe now is the time. Clicking on any page in this post will take you to Udemy.
